I'm on a quest to help every working girl find stylish shoes to maximize fashion & practicality. This is an easy reference site to help find fashionable shoes that are still professional, comfortable & practical. While I love my Manolos, most of us can only splurge once in a while so I also promote affordability.

I feel like I
blinked and Summer disappeared into Fall.It doesn’t help that Fashion Weeks and fashion conferences, like Lucky
FABB and IFC, happen within what feels like minutes from one another.#TimeFlies. The crisp Fall air
inherently takes me back to the feeling of a new school year starting. Granted my school days are long gone, I still can't help but feel like Kate Spade channeled my inner schoolgirl with these utterly adorable Mixer Heels.

They are a really
great alternative to my usual skyhigh platform heels.They have an incredibly low 1 ¼” heel but they are so
fancy!The jeweled buckle and
two-toned covered heel make these anything but frumpy.

A quick word about
Ms. Spade’s sizing - it runs small, at least a half size if not a whole
size.If given the opportunity,
try them on before purchasing.You
will not be your usual size in any Kate Spade shoe.I’m not sure why, but they all run a
bit more narrow even though they are labeled M width, which is just your
regular shoe width.

The combination of
these two aspects make the Mixer Heels amazingly versatile for the office
fashions.Not only do they style
up your usual suits but they also jazz up your LBD’s and make your jeans work
with that tailored white shirt to exude that effortless chic style that’s not
always effortlessly attained. ;)Paired with black cigarette ankle length pants makes your figure as
classic as your style.Who doesn’t
love that?

While these are a
little pricier than I usually advocate for, our beloved Katie has great sales
to snag these at a healthy discount – I got mine 30% off. This is where
patience is very virtuou$.With
such low heels, the Mixer Heels are the perfect work to after-work shoe, or
marathon work day that don’t have you begging for your slippers or flip
flops.And to me, that is worth
paying a little extra to feel Wonder-Fall. ;)

Having a Shoe Dilemma, or worse, a Shoe Emergency?

In the store and can't decide whether the shoe you're trying on works? Have a shoe you love but it pinches your toes or your heels slides out? Feel free to post, email, tweet or Facebook me your questions and emergencies. I'm happy to help! :) Business inquiries also welcomed.
